‖ Trypanosoma Zool.|ˌtrɪpənəʊˈsəʊmə| [mod.L., f. Gr. τρύπανον borer + σῶµα body.] A genus of flagellate infusorial protozoa, species of which are parasitic in the blood of man and other animals, causing specific diseases, such as sleeping-sickness; an infusorian of this genus. Hence ˌtrypanoˈsomacide [L. -cīda, -cide 1], a substance having the property of destroying trypanosomes; trypanosomal |-ˈsəʊməl| a., (a) of, pertaining to, or caused by trypanosomes; (b) = trypanosomid adj.; trypanosomatic |-səʊˈmætɪk|, -somatous |-ˈsəʊmətəs| adjs., = typanosomal adj. (a); ‖ ˌtrypanosomaˈtosis [mod.L.: see -osis] = trypanosomiasis; ˈtrypanosome |-səʊm| [a. F. trypanosome (Gruby, 1843)], (a) an infusorian of the genus Trypanosoma; (b) used attrib. to designate trypanosomes and related hæmoflagellates at a stage in their life cycle when they have an elongated body with the flagellum arising from the posterior end; cf. trypomastigote; ‖ trypanosomiasis |-səʊˈmaɪəsɪs|, pl. -ases |-əsiːz| [mod.L., after elephantiasis, etc.; but the etymological pronunciation would be |-ɪˈeɪsɪs|], a disease produced by infection with trypanosomes; trypanosomic |-ˈsəʊmɪk| a. = trypanosomal (in quot. 1906, infected with trypanosomes); trypanoˈsomid n. and a. [ad. mod.L. Trypanosomidæ (F. Doflein Die Protozoen als Parasiten und Krankheitserreger (1901) 57): see -id3], (pertaining to or designating) a member of the family Trypanosomidæ, which comprises trypanosomes and related species of flagellate protozoans which at some stage in their life cycle have an elongated body with one nucleus and a single flagellum arising from a kinetosome; also trypanoˈsomatid n. and a. (corresponding to the synonymous family name Trypanosomatidæ).
